Einstein@home....haven't looked at it too closely, but it seems pretty cool.

I joined because I like the name of the project software : BOINC
Still not enough work pieces to start though

I'd rather use my downtime to do something that actually has a chance of yielding a result some time while I'm alive... like folding protein chains or whatnot.

My computers run WCgrid too, but I have been waiting for the release of the Einstein@home software.

Mine is up and running but there are no gee whiz graphics to look at :(
Maybe it's an addon...

Tip!

In Boinc, click the work tab, and right click the "Einstein@home" project. Then click "show graphics".

Yeah, but mine is greyed out for the completed ones and the in progress one isn't but does nothing.
O, BTW since I installed it it crashes my IE and outlook express too :(

I take that back. It just popped up when the screensaver kicked in. COOL
